Closed Captions

"Closed captioning allows persons with hearing disabilities to have access to television programming by displaying the audio portion of a television program as text on the television screen." (includes important sound effects and labels of who is doing the speaking)

Subtitles

"Aimed at those who can hear, but not necessarily understand the language." (No sound effects or labels, usually used for foreign films)
